Pristina -
The outgoing KFOR Commander, Major General Salvatore Cuoci today held his last
press conference in Pristina before the Change of Command ceremony, which will take
place on November 28.

Speaking about his mission of twelve months full of challenges, General Cuoci
emphasized the events of last week when certain international and economic
developments increased the tension, especially in the North of Kosovo, and called upon
everybody to manage the disputes peacefully and responsibly, refuting the use of force or
violence.

"We count on everyone in the region to show moderation and support any effort that
leads to the normalization of the security situation and avoids creating tensions,”
COMKFOR said.

The 22 nd Commander of KFOR, General Cuoci also underlined that for almost two
decades, KFOR has been contributing to make this place safer, always focusing on the
people, working with them and for them to provide a safer and more secure environment,
so that the future generations could live in a peaceful, multi-ethnic, democratic and
prosperous Kosovo.
